No, so long as it is running at all, it's fine. I do recommend it
though, as you can make anything using clvmd dependent on it having
started properly.

That's what I do. Mount the same iSCSI target on all VM nodes, then on
one node set it up as a PV and then a clustered VG. You will see the new
PV and VG on all the other nodes in the cluster. You can then create
LVs, setup VMs on them and move the VMs around the nodes using live
migration.
